>Description:
with the latest 4.1 tree (from today) the PASSWORD() function returns random
alpha-numeric text /[a-f0-9]/
45 characters in length (which is too long for a password string). The string
always starts with a * (asterisk).
example: *95144feaa0f433f3f62c29382697a1e631b283f860f0
>How-To-Repeat:
Using latest BK 4.1 tree, SELECT PASSWORD('something');
>Fix:
Not known.
